They are slightly see through so I can tell what color they are from the outside but it all still looks uniform. I do look that metal bucket though!

When I have time or if the basket becomes full, I start to cut them into strips (from 1&quot; - 3&quot;), squares (2&quot;-6&quot;), etc. and then put them in plastic bags or clear shoe boxes (like you). I make a lot of scrappy quilts so when the baggies and boxes are full, I pick a project and start sewing.Talin's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15848341999685056065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-53433743625852396482011-02-21T10:51:47.628-08:002011-02-21T10:51:47.628-08:00Well......I am piling fabric up by collection in a...Well......I am piling fabric up by collection in a shelf at the moment and scraps go into shoe boxes (the normal variety that one gets when buying shoes). Solids go into a separate shelf. This will not work for many months longer though as I am running out of space left right and centre. I love your way of storage as it will give you instant access to the right fabric.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04726377625328937005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-51376399336603357542011-02-21T10:51:11.170-08:002011-02-21T10:51:11.170-08:00Oh my gosh!

Can hardly wait to get started sewing!<br /><br />Whatever I don&#39;t use for this spider web quilt will be already cut into strips. Going to make a quake quilt next. Maybe a stripped pieced scrappy quilt after that. Just focusing on one color family or group at a time &amp; pairing it with one solid fabric to contrast and unify the quilt.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616509063994869028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-42907767669349163882011-02-21T09:50:41.464-08:002011-02-21T09:50:41.464-08:00Not very well....my sewing room is my office is my...Not very well....my sewing room is my office is my guest bedroom with NO CLOSET!!
